What is a CSS Sprite?
A CSS sprite combines multiple small images into a single image file (sprite sheet). CSS background-position is then used to display individual images from the combined file. This reduces the number of HTTP requests, improving page load performance.
How to Create a CSS Sprite
Upload multiple images. Choose a layout (horizontal, vertical, or grid). The tool combines them into a single sprite sheet and generates the CSS with background-position values for each image.
▶Are CSS sprites still useful?
With HTTP/2 multiplexing, the performance benefit of sprites has decreased. However, sprites still help when serving many tiny icons or when using icon systems that need single-file caching.
▶What is the best layout for sprites?
Horizontal layout is compact for few images. Grid layout works well for many icons of similar size. Vertical layout is useful when all images have the same width.
▶How do I use the generated CSS?
The CSS uses background-image on the sprite sheet and background-position for each icon. Apply the generated classes to your HTML elements.
